qaafiya(m): rhyming word
Description of qaafiya: Qaafiya is the rhyming pattern in Urdu, Persian, and Turkic poetry, specifically the words that directly precede the radif to create the rhyme scheme in forms like the ghazal. Unlike the radif, which is the identical word or phrase repeated verbatim at the end of each couplet, qaafiya varies while maintaining phonetic harmony. Differs from English end-rhymes by emphasizing the last consonant and following vowels for a structured echo. In
